Cross-linguistic sample of middle marking languages

This database features the cross-linguistic sample of middle marking languages gathered during the project "Towards a diachronic typology of the middle voice" funded by the FWO (Research Foundation Flanders, grant 12T5320N) and hosted by the Department of Linguistics, KU Leuven (2020-2022).The following papers have been based on this sample (I refer to the Appendixes to the individual papers for details on the sample composition and on the annotation): Inglese, Guglielmo. 2022a.
